INTRODUCTION 


CHECK LIST of North American Amphibians and 

Reptiles has long been wished for by all students of 
American Herpetology. This list has been prepared gen- 
erally upon the lines of the American Ornithologists’ Union 
Check List of Birds, and following that example, it has in- 
cluded the: species and subspecies which the authors deem 
valid! and of certain occurrence in North America, north of 
the Rio Grande, and in Lower California, Mexico. Miller’s 
List of North American Land Mammals (Bull. U. S. Nat. 
Mus., No. 79, 1912) has also been a valued guide. 

This volume is the result of lists begun some years ago 
independently by both authors. The arrangement is on 
the following system: The higher groups and genera are 
in systematic sequence, the species are in alphabetic order. 
No attempt is made to give synonyms. Species not listed 
are believed to be invalid. The citation of original appear- 
ance of names is given for all except such (e. g., family 
names) as are formed automatically. Following the citation 
of the original description of each species comes the place of 
first appearance of the name in its present combination — 
accurate in so far as we have been able to determine. Refer- 
ences are added to Cope’s North American Batrachia and 
to his Crocodilians, Lizards, and Snakes of North America. 
Both are frequently erratic and inaccurate, but large and 
excellent portions of both works are to a great extent from 
the pen of S. F. Baird, as painstaking an investigator 
as this country has produced. ‘These monographs are in 

1 By this statement it is not meant that the authors in all cases have verified the status of a number 
of more recently established forms by critical study. The judgment of reliable workers has been 
accepted where no special reason appeared to contraindicate the validity of the form. As for the ad- 
mission of subspecies — or rather trinominal designation — for certain forms no special attempt has 
been made at consistency, the authors on principle leaning towards binominals in all cases where the 


need of trinominals has not been clearly established.

widespread use, and constitute the most recent attempts 
toward complete lists. In the case of the difficult genus © 
Thamnophis references are given to Ruthven’s excellent 
review. Common names for reptiles and amphibians are 
in great confusion, and are often of generic rather than of 
specific application. No attempt is made to recognize any 
except those which are in well-established usage. The host 
which have been recently coined by various writers are fre- 
quently inapt and almost surely unlikely to survive. It is 
entirely possible that some vernacular names really often 
used have escaped our notice, since many are in restricted 
local use. The type localities are as nearly exact as it is 
possible to determine. This cannot be said regarding the 
ranges. Many are obviously faulty, but a sincere attempt 
has been made to collect records of authentic captures; how- 
ever, with a literature so extensive and so scattered, records 
have almost surely been overlooked. In many cases, our 
knowledge does not warrant drawing hard and fast lines de- 
limiting a form’s occurrence, and we often state ranges in 
purposely general terms. ‘There still is opportunity for 
valuable field work to determine the precise distribution of 
many of our most common species. An example is the recent 
discovery that Virginia valeriae is far from rare in parts of 
New Jersey. 

Our hearty thanks are due to many for information and 
advice, especially to Samuel Henshaw, John Van Denburgh, 
and Alex. G. Ruthven. 

G. K. Noble has assisted considerably in verifying refer- 
ences and searching literature, and for this assistance he has 
our grateful remembrance.

1 According to Van Denburgh Dicamptodon ensatus (Eschscholtz Zool. Atlas, pt. 5, 1833, p. 6, 
pl. 22), is a synonym of Ambystoma tenebrosum Baird and Girard; until, however, it is possible to 
examine the type, if it still exists at Dorpat or Rostock, it seems better to consider this allocation 
only provisional, in view of the fact that the figure in the Zoologisches Atlas is not very similar to the 
Ambystoma. We do not, however, include it in the list.

1 There is no evidence that Baird ever described this species which is generally credited to him. 
Cope (Proc. Ac. Nat. Sci. Phila., 1869, p. 100) mentions it as a variety of Plethodon cinereus, thus, 
“ Var. y. dorsalis, Baird, M.S. 3776. Louisville, Ky.; Salem, Mass.” This reference is a nomen nudum 
pure and simple. 

2 Green described this species and also named the synonymous erythronotus upon the same page. 
It therefore remained for the first reviser to fix the correct name for the species. This Tschudi did 
in 1838.

scription appeared a year before Holbrook’s but Harlan knew of Holbrook’s discovery of the species 
for he writes (l.c.) ‘‘ This new species, first figured and described by Dr. Holbrook (vide his valuable 
work on North American Reptiles), possesses very peculiar characters. . . .”

was a composite species, part of the wording which Linné intended to use in characterizing the black- 
snake and the hog-nose snake having been combined under constrictor. Thus the scale counts 130- 
40 refer to the hog-nose, the first words “ Habitat in Canada. Kalm,” refer to the black. Then we 
read “ Mazillae apex simus triqueter,” obviously the hog-nose again. Lastly comes an abbreviated 
extract of Kalm’s account of the black snakes’ habits “‘ Adoritur homines circum pedes sese convolvens, 
sed innocuus.” Consequently, Coluber constrictor of 1758 being a composite species, Linné, in 1766, 
exercised his prerogative as first reviser to correct this error. So that in the twelfth edition (p. 385) 
we find the black snake correctly diagnosed, using much of the same wording as was used in 1758, 
with the name constrictor applied; while on p. $73 we find the hog-nose renamed — contortriz — and 
assigned to the genus Boa, The description fits the hog-nose snake accurately, again part of the early 
diagnosis being repeated and reference is also made to Catesby’s plate figuring this species. This, 
renders the name contortrix untenable for the Copperhead.
